Ok, all of you high tech users are going to scream when you read this
question so turn on your flame throwers and get set:

On both the Office 2003 and the new beta for 2007 it requires a server to
use two features SharePoint and Out of Office assistant- I want to use those
features but it seems to indicate a lot of cost and work to set up a server-
If I “load†Virtual Server†will that allow those features to activate? That
is, will I be able to use the virtual server to manage them?

Thanks!

you can do it in a virtual server - but you need both SharePoint and
exchange server to enable the features - you'll also need your mail
delivered to exchange. Those two apps are not the easiest things for a
technically challenged user to configure...

why not use rules to replicate the out of office feature?
 
Thank you-you gave me exactly what I needed! -now that I know it can be done
I will have a highly technical person do all this for me (for me it's like
driving a car- I may not be able to build the engine but I sure can drive
it!) In the meantime I will try the rules and see if I can figure it out.
Again thank you.
